Wisdom teeth are interesting, not everyone gets them, and some of us only get one set. Do those of us who have them need to get them removed?
Dentists generally advise getting them removed before they cause problems. Most of the problem with wisdom teeth comes from overcrowding the jaw. Many people don't have space for their wisdom teeth to come in straight, so they often come in impacted, crooked, or fail to surface from under the gums. They can rub up against your molars and cause damage to their roots and enamel.
What if you have your wisdom teeth, and they aren't causing you any trouble? Do they still need to be pulled? Probably not, but you should see a dentist be sure.
